Synchronization of Multiple Coupled rf-SQUID Flux Qubits

A practical strategy for synchronizing the properties of compound Josephson junction rf-SQUID qubits on a multiqubit chip has been demonstrated. The impacts of small ($\sim1%$) fabrication variations in qubit inductance and critical current can be minimized by the application of a custom tuned flux offset to the CJJ structure of each qubit. This strategy allows for simultaneous synchronization of the qubit persistent current and tunnel splitting over a range of external bias parameters that is relevant for the implementation of an adiabatic quantum processor.
